Chapter 215 Courage is commendable
"Mountain River Sun Moon Fist, the sun and moon collapse, the mountains and rivers shatter!"

Just when Zhu Chengwu had defeated Xiao Li Feidao's sneak attack, taking advantage of Zhu Chengwu's slight relaxation and seizing the moment when Zhu Chengwu's true energy was recovering after his continuous outburst, the Duke of Qi, who had already used the Zhu royal family's secret technique, quietly approached Zhu Chengwu and raised his hand to use the final move of the Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Fist practiced by the Princess of Qi - the collapse of the sun and moon, the shattering of the mountains and rivers.

The Duke of Qi just didn't want to sacrifice in vain when there was no opportunity, not that he was afraid to sacrifice.

Now that the opportunity has arisen, the Duke of Qi dares to directly unleash his secret technique, seeking an ending in which he and Zhu Chengwu will perish together.

Although the Duke of Qi did not want to die, when death was inevitable, he had the courage and determination to die for the sake of the inheritance of his lineage.

But is the opportunity discovered by Duke Qi really an opportunity?
If the flaw was discovered so easily, Zhu Chengwu would have been defeated by thirteen Grandmaster Yang Shens when he was outnumbered at Elbrus Mountain.

How could there be such things happening now!

Although this time the Duke of Yan, the Duke of Qi, Li Xunhuan, and... Fang Huiju were better prepared and more determined.

But when he was in the Elbru Mountains, Zhu Chengwu faced many more Grandmaster Yang God-level fighters, and there were many powerful Grandmasters and powerful Yang Gods among them.

Bang~~

As expected, even with Fang Huimin's secret move, using the Taoist magic of refining spirits to conceal the approach of Duke Qi and secretly influence Zhu Chengwu's soul, thereby reducing Zhu Chengwu's recovery speed, the opportunity discovered by Duke Qi was not a real opportunity.

Because just when the Duke of Qi hit Zhu Chengwu horizontally with both fists, the protective air shield around Zhu Chengwu reappeared in an instant.

Zhu Chengwu has completed the breathing!

The Duke of Qi's desperate move - the sun and moon collapsed, the mountains and rivers shattered, was finally blocked by Zhu Chengwu's innate qi.

"Ants will always be ants!"

Zhu Chengwu looked at Duke Qi Zhu Xingcheng, whose eyes revealed shock after being blocked by the innate energy, and sensed Little Li Flying Dagger Li Xunhuan and Duke Yan Zhu Chengyi, who suddenly lost their aura after their desperate outbursts in the distance, and concluded like this.

Xiao Li's Flying Dagger does have its merits, but it is also incompatible with Zhu Chengwu's attributes and cannot serve as an effective reference for Zhu Chengwu to improve himself.

Apart from this, neither the Duke of Qi nor Fang Huimin, who was a spiritual practitioner, could bring any effective insights to Zhu Chengwu.

Since they have been given the opportunity to desperately show themselves, and it has been determined that they cannot bring effective and beneficial insights to Zhu Chengwu, and will not play a big role in Zhu Chengwu's self-improvement, there is no need for Zhu Chengwu to continue to fight with them and continue to give them opportunities.

As the words fell, Zhu Chengwu slapped down with his palm.

In order to attack Zhu Chengwu, the Duke of Qi, who was already very close to Zhu Chengwu, had no way to dodge.

"Drink~~"

With fear in his eyes and a loud shout from his mouth, the Duke of Qi moved his fists that were blocked by Zhu Chengwu's protective aura diagonally and struck towards Zhu Chengwu's blazing sun and flaming palm.

The Duke of Qi intended to counter attack and resolve Zhu Chengwu's offensive.

Bang~~
With a dull thud, the bones in the Duke of Qi's arms were shattered, and he was violently knocked flying by Zhu Chengwu.

Then, Zhu Chengwu took a step forward and caught up with the Duke of Qi who was flying backwards. Before the Duke of Qi landed on the ground, he appeared beside him and struck him hard in the chest with another palm strike.

At this time, although the Duke of Qi saw Zhu Chengwu's actions, he was further injured by Zhu Chengwu's previous palm strike, and was hit into a state of forbidden technique explosion. He was completely unable to resist and could only watch Zhu Chengwu's palm wrapped in flames fall heavily on his chest.

Puff~~~
A lot of blood from the Duke of Qi's body was coughed out uncontrollably from his mouth. His body, which was originally flying backwards, was forced to change direction and was knocked heavily to the ground by Zhu Chengwu.

Bang~~
With a loud bang, the Duke of Qi lost his life instantly.

The Duke of Qi was able to withstand two attacks from Zhu Chengwu before dying. His performance surpassed that of the East Evil and West Poison of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, this is also because the Zhu royal family desperately used forbidden techniques to increase the power of the clan.

However, no matter how powerful the forbidden technique used by the Zhu royal family to protect the family is, the gap in foundation is still irreparable!

The Zhu royal family tried their best to use forbidden techniques, but at most they could only allow the Duke of Qi, who should have died in one blow, to survive the second blow from Zhu Chengwu.

As soon as the Duke of Qi lost his life, countless flames emerged from his lifeless body, igniting the Duke of Qi's powerful master-level body.

With the memories and experiences of his previous life, when Zhu Chengwu faced the enemy, he always went through the entire process of killing, burning and exterminating.

If this is the case, and the enemy can still come back to life, then Zhu Chengwu has nothing to say.

After the body of Duke Qi had been completely set on fire and Zhu Chengwu had turned around to look at them again, Duke Yan Zhu Chengyi and Little Li Flying Dagger Li Xunhuan had finally recovered a little from their exhaustion after their all-out outburst.

Seeing the blazing fire behind Zhu Chengwu, Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan stopped immediately after taking a few steps to support Duke Qi.

Zhu Chengwu's movements were so fast that they already sensed something was wrong the moment they discovered that Duke Qi's desperate move was blocked by Zhu Chengwu's reappearing protective qi, and were ready to provide support.

But just as they took their first step, the Duke of Qi had already been dealt with by Zhu Chengwu!
Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan stopped and looked at each other, and they could see the horror in each other's eyes.

But then, the complex expressions in their eyes turned into determination!
They are not only showing their attitude and determination to the other party, but also strengthening their readiness to make sacrifices.

At the same time, they took steps unconsciously and moved closer to each other.

They tried to rely on each other to increase their confidence in facing Zhu Chengwu.

Although Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan were both prepared for sacrifice and death, when they found that death was approaching, they still unconsciously moved closer to each other and relied on each other.

"It's your turn!"

However, before Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan got completely close to each other, Zhu Chengwu took a step forward and was already in the middle of the two. This position was also the place where Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan would meet after they got close to each other.

Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan were immediately startled when they saw Zhu Chengwu suddenly appear.

It was also at this time that they realized that Zhu Chengwu had been playing with them with handicap the whole time.

With the speed of Zhu Chengwu's body movement in this step, it is still unclear whether Xiao Li's Flying Dagger, which has the characteristics of soul locking and breath tracking, can hit Zhu Chengwu after it is launched.

However, Duke Yan's Ananda Finger and Heavenly Can Kick would definitely not be able to attack Zhu Chengwu as long as he wanted, so there was no need for Zhu Chengwu to resist.

Especially the Tiancan Kick, although it has great power and high attack intensity, its attack speed is not fast enough, and it does not have the characteristics of soul locking and breath tracking like Xiao Li Feidao.

With the speed and agility that Zhu Chengwu is currently displaying, as long as Zhu Chengwu wants, Tiancanjiao won’t even be able to see Zhu Chengwu’s back.

Not to mention the Heavenly Can Kick, even the Ananda Finger, which pursues attack speed, would be nothing compared to the speed Zhu Chengwu is currently displaying.

So close yet so far away, so close yet so far away!
At Zhu Chengwu's current level, the unique martial art of "The World Is So Close" truly has a bit of the characteristic of "The World Is So Close".

The world is so close yet so far away, this unique body movement skill is truly worthy of its name!

"Scorching Sun Fiery Palm!"

Zhu Chengwu was just playing a handicap game, teasing them, and just when Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan were shocked and depressed because of this discovery, Zhu Chengwu had already spread out his hands, waving his palms and included Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan in the attack range at the same time.

puff~~
Puff~~~
Facing Zhu Chengwu's active attack, Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan tried their best to dodge and resist, but they were soon seriously injured and vomited blood several times. As time passed, the desperate forbidden skills of Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan weakened with the passage of time.

The reason why the Desperate Forbidden Technique is called the Desperate Forbidden Technique is because it has huge side effects and can only last for a few short moves.

Some extreme and desperate forbidden techniques, in order to pursue the maximum increase in combat power, even use death as the price to achieve a burst of power in a single move.

Now both Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan have exploded, and both have become exhausted.

Their conditions were affected, so naturally they were no longer able to resist Zhu Chengwu's Blazing Sun Fiery Palm.

In other words, as long as Zhu Chengwu wanted, even if Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan were still in their prime, they might not be able to withstand two or three full-strength attacks from Zhu Chengwu.

After just a few moves, Duke Yan and Li Xunhuan lost their lives under Zhu Chengwu's Fiery Palm, which was not yet fully unleashed, and turned into a ball of fire one after another.

"Duke Qi, Duke Yan, Grandmaster Li..."

Fang Huimin and the current Ming King's diehard fans who were around the court hall seeing this scene had shock in their eyes that was difficult to conceal.

Everyone says that Zhu Chengwu is very strong and is the best in the world. Many people even say that the current martial arts legend, Zhu Chengwu, Marquis of Fu'an, has surpassed the martial arts legends of the past - Shaolin Bodhidharma and Wudang Sanfeng.

But they really didn't expect that Zhu Chengwu was so strong.

Not only were the rumors not exaggerated at all, they were not even enough to describe how powerful Zhu Chengwu was.

"My Lord, I..."

Shocked by this, some people wanted to change their stance and surrender to Zhu Chengwu.

"Death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai! This is the moment to show your loyalty, brothers, fight the traitor Zhu Chengwu!"

Some people turned their shock into a determination to die, and rushed towards Zhu Chengwu shouting loudly.

Those who had just fought were all masters at the Grandmaster Yang Shen level, and they could not intervene.

It was over so quickly that they didn't have time to intervene.

But now, they finally have time to launch a death charge on Zhu Chengwu, and they don't have to worry about inadvertently affecting the performance of the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Yan, Li Xunhuan and other masters who stand on the same side as them.

"remarkably brave!"

Facing the Queen Mother Fang Huimin and the current Ming King's diehard fans who rushed over, Zhu Chengwu simply praised them lightly.

Then Zhu Chengwu took a step forward and went to meet him.

Although Zhu Chengwu's current martial arts strength is enough to kill everyone at once from a distance, close combat can obviously allow Zhu Chengwu to vent the frustration in his heart better than killing people from a distance.

So, there is no doubt about how to choose!
Zhu Chengwu struck out mercilessly, one by one, and soon all the people outside the court hall were dealt with.

Whether they are loyal people who are ready to die, or cowardly people who are afraid and want to change their stance, all are equal in front of Zhu Chengwu, and he will kill them all with one palm, without exception.

During this process, many people, realizing that surrender was useless, could not bear the fear of death and fled to the court hall.

Of course, there were also many people in the court hall who could not bear the pressure of waiting to die, and they took the initiative to walk out of the hall and rushed towards Zhu Chengwu, just asking for a quick death.

Zhu Chengwu treated these people with kindness and met all their expectations.

Still one palm for one, equal and fair!
After dealing with all the people outside the court hall, Zhu Chengwu deliberately weighed down his footsteps and walked into the court hall step by step with the sound of "thump thump thump".

At this time, in the court hall, the sound of Zhu Chengwu's footsteps had already triggered a new round of fear.

After the massacre that Zhu Chengwu had just committed outside the hall, most of the people in the court hall were fearful and timid.

In order to survive, they were so frightened that they even started to have some thoughts, glancing at the current Ming King and Queen Mother Fang Huilu who had been sitting on the Ming King's Dragon Chair and the Queen Mother's Phoenix Chair.

It can be seen that they want to use the heads of the current Ming King and Queen Mother Fang Huiqi as a stepping stone to survive.

But everyone who had such an idea and took action fell to the ground with a bang after taking just two or three steps.

Without exception!

This strange scene immediately shocked them.

There are experts on Fang Huimin and the current Ming Wang's side!

When Zhu Chengwu walked through the palace gate with deliberately heavy steps and entered the court hall, this was exactly the scene he saw.

"I thought that Wang's wife and nephew were really so good at managing their subordinates, that they could make your subordinates fear no death and swear allegiance to you till death? It turns out that your subordinates are all two-faced villains!"

Zhu Chengwu glanced at the important officials of the court who were gathered in the center of the Court Hall. They were right between him, who was standing at the gate of the Court Hall, and the current Ming King and Fang Huiju, who were sitting on the dragon and phoenix chairs on the high platform of the Court Hall. They were in a state of panic. He looked at Fang Huiju and the current Ming King who were sitting on the high platform opposite him and said sarcastically.

"you…"

When the current Prince Ming met Zhu Chengwu, the seventh uncle who had successfully rebelled, for the first time, he was interrupted by a few sarcastic words from Zhu Chengwu.

Hearing Zhu Chengwu's sarcasm, even though he knew his fate was sealed, the current King Ming couldn't help but want to refute.

This has nothing to do with anything else. It's just that Zhu Chengwu, the nephew of the current King Ming, simply doesn't want to admit defeat in front of his uncle Zhu Chengwu, the seventh king who successfully rebelled.

"Seventh brother! They are indeed afraid of death and indecisive, but they still have the ability. Otherwise, they would not be qualified to stand in this court hall and have the opportunity to choose their side!
And at least they had the courage, otherwise they would not be in the court hall now.

They are much more courageous than those people who surrendered early behind you, my seventh brother!
Do you, the seventh brother who has accepted the 'loyalty' of those fence-sitters, have the qualifications to ridicule us mother and son?

Also, how are our methods of controlling our subordinates? Didn’t you, Seventh Prince, just experience it with your own eyes?

"Seventh Prince, ask yourself, if you didn't have this strength, and were in our place, how many loyal people outside the palace would you have?"

Fang Huiju stopped his son, Prince Ming, from speaking out of anger and personally started a debate with Zhu Chengwu.

"Mrs. Wang is right! My subordinates are all fence-sitters, so I used the word 'also'!
But I would not trade places with you. My strength is the result of my hard work and practice. To obtain this strength, I have given up too much and paid too much. Why should I trade places with you?

Mrs. Wang, don’t you also know this?

As long as I have this strength, those fence-sitters in your hands will become loyal ministers and generals who are willing to swear allegiance to me until death!

this is the truth!"

Zhu Chengwu looked at Fang Huiju who was sitting on the phoenix chair on the high platform opposite him, and spoke in a steady and calm tone.
